    About this ebook

    Racism - The Color of White is all about bigotry
    and racism today. White is not a mere absence of
    color; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as
    fierce as red, as definite as black and color
    blind racism is something you need to read about
    in this book. White light includes colors of
    every other wavelength. It cannot exist without
    the other colors in the spectrum. As in the human
    existence and spectrum, white needs the other races
    or color in order to be white. But racism isn’t
    just about the differences in the color of our skin.
    Wherever prejudice and malice lurk, racism and bigotry
    stand with them for you never see any one of them without
    the other. The Color of White takes you into the real
    world of hatred and racism in America. It shows you
    how it starts and what keeps it going. The Color of
    White is a short history of injustice; it is a must
    read and it will change the way you live and believe.
    Racism - The Color of White offers racism facts,
    racism statistics about modern racism. The cold hard
    facts about racism cannot and should not be ignored.

      The Color of White - Dr. Leland Benton

      Introduction – The Whiteness of Chalk

      In an essay titled A Piece of Chalk, G. K. Chesterton described one of his favorite childhood pastimes: drawing with chalk on brown paper.

      He preferred brown paper to white because the colors of the chalk stand out more vividly against its rough, dark background.

      The white one is the most essential piece of chalk in his collection.   "One of the wise and awful truths which this brown-paper art reveals, is this, that white is a color.

      It is not a mere absence of color; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black."

      I, too, have been guilty of thinking of white as an absence of color; in fact, white light includes colors of every other wavelength.

      Chesterton provides a parallel between our mistaken thinking about the color white and our mixed up perspective on virtue.  "The chief assertion of religious morality is that white is a color.

      Virtue is not the absence of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, like pain or a particular smell."

      Have you too thought of virtue as the mere absence of vice?

      In a study on the subject of pride, one of the participants asked if we were going to also study humility. Oh, no, I responded, If you can conquer pride, you’ve achieved humility.

      However, after more study on the subject and a few more years of battling my own pride convinced me that I was dead wrong on this issue. It is only by pursuing the positive fruit of humility that we can ever hope to battle pride.

      Humility is not the mere absence of pride any more than white is the absence of color. Humility is a vivid and separate thing, and a prize worth pursuing.

      It is only when we learn humility to think on things greater than ourselves that we will be able to abandon our pride.

      C. S. Lewis’ The Weight of Glory notes a similar misconception…

      "If you asked twenty good men today what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness.

      But if you had asked almost any of the great Christians of old, he would have replied, Love.

      You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive...."

      We should pay careful attention to the avoidance of substituting negatives for positives. When God commanded his people to be holy, He did not base his command first and foremost on the detestability of sin. He grounded this command in his own character, saying You shall be holy because I am holy.

      God hates and abhors what is unholy, but this abhorrence springs from his delight in what is good and true, namely Himself. Like Him, we should not look at the joyful pursuit of holiness as the wearisome extermination of vice.

      We should also cling to what is good and not merely hate what is evil. In doing so, we move from the defensive to the offensive, a move that is a major turning point in the winning of any war.

      This book is about racism, bigotry, and the results of both.  It addresses the fact that racism is alive and well in America.  It isn’t just about white versus black; it isn’t about
